Help me with Mission Editor pls?

[Chevelless]

I tried to modify the campaign, want to add some random groups and patrol lines into the Black May, but it never works. I added new groups as the following steps. Is there any problem pls teach me thank you

1, open Mission Editor, open SH5>data>Compaign>Black_May.pj

2, zoom the map and create a random group which contains a Huge European Liner and 3 tankers, speed 12 knots, date into the game 1941/1/1, date exit the game 1945/12/31, time into/exit the game is 0

3, spawn possibility 100, interval 240, tactical=true, others not mentioned remain default, then set several waypoints, group heading to the waypoint.

4, save the .pj file and run the game, start a new compaign, silentotto, Black May, NOTHING NEW... wait on the line for 10 days, no ships



What's wrong with these steps? How to add a new transpot line to the compaign career???

Campaign is different from a single mission. Define your group in the grouptypes.cfg, then add them a mission with the help of the generators and nodes/path to follow for your group if you really wanna see liners and tankers parade.

There is a sticky about ME2, read it through.

But still not very clear. I have read the tutorial , imo,create a group contains liner and tankers which follow waypoints and spawn every 12 hours is different from create a single mission.

I do not want the group as a part of mission to be completed but just as a routine part of the compaign, like other convoys and single ships cruising on the Atlantic in the whole career.

Thank you for further guidance!:salute:

@ Chevelless

Select convoy.mis from the layers.
Right click on a node where you want this convoy to start.
Change the node to a generator in the left side pannel.

Then right click on the node again.
select edit
This is where you can spawn convoys from.

Convoy setup is easy - just look at some stock one to see how.

hope this helps:up:

yes sir, I followed your steps, I understand until the sentence "

I may modify ship filters and ship types in the form, but I can not edit the number of ships in the convoy and their classes/types.
But pls teach folowing step by step again, thanks!! This is my first time playing with mission editor haha:rock::rock::rock:

for example, I need it spawn a liner every 2 days, from Liverpool to Newyork, what should I do after a change the node to generator?

To do this you:-
select "edit groups" from the campaign menu bar.
This will show a new screen with a list of groups (convoys)
Select one and edit it from that screen:up:
